Weekly Golf Tip with JC Bacon PGA Professional at Los Lagos Golf Club

Tip of the week- Tee Shots

The tee shots are the favorite shot of many golfers, because the ball sits on a tee and easier to hit. But the USGA Rules only allow the use of a tee on the first shot of each hole. So we try to make the best of the shot by following the these tips:

Play the ball toward the front of your stance with your driver, remember your driver only has between 8 and 12 degrees loft, so by playing the ball forward, it helps get the ball air born. With the ball teed up, this is one of the only shots that the club is actually moving upward in the swing. The idea is to try to pick the ball off the the top of the tee as clean as possible. Exception: using a tee on a short par 3 hole, hitting a mid to short iron, you should still hit down on the ball.

For any help with this or any part of your game contact your local PGA or LPGA Professional

Until next time may your drives be long and straight
